Just to reassure you I am not one to 'just' jump in. I read and re-read this thread and others to find a solution, but, because of my poor coding skills I was flummoxed, ie I didn't understand the error messages.

I also honestly thought I had 1.4 running. I checked after reading your last post and, yes, I had 1.3 running.

1.4 running now and conversion to 32 Tiff works fine.

The Tiff initially has a strong green tint, but I can remove this in post.

1. lots of lag in LR (64 bit) in processing 32 bit Tif. In fact I had to click on and off images to force updates. Could 'just' be size of Tif, ie about 250Mb.2. No problems in Ps-CC (64 bit)3. Tif starts with green tint, easily removed via WB tool4. Real problem is that the tif is very noisy in the shadow regions, despite one of the brackets being taken for those zones

These are early observations, but the noise still being there worries me. I seems that the noise is being carried over from some of the images that are taken for the highlights.

A1ex, will you make this work with full paths & file names for the input and output files yet? I'd like to script this to run along side my current workflow so I can compare the results. Would be tested on a ton of files.

Garry, my existing scripts consist of several thousand lines of vbscript that automatically process and sort hundreds of bracket sets from several shoots at once. I'm asking A1ex to make Ceronoice work with paths so I don't have to employ weird hacks or copy gigabytes of temp files during this process.

garry23: nice workflow, would be interesting to see more samples. Maybe you can compare the results with whatever other HDR software you were using? (I don't really know them, I use enfuse for tonemapping and that's pretty much all my experience with HDR software).

I also have in mind some more updates, basically updating the exposure matching algorithm from the latest cr2hdr, Kalman weighting (to reduce noise even more), white balance matching (some samples from engardeknave require it) and soft-film curve (to squeeze the HDR data in a 16-bit DNG container). Not sure what to do about motion artifacts though.

The 'issues' I have seen, having spent a weekend playing with CeroNoice, is that it only works with my 14-bit images, ie not 12-bit. BTW how do I send you bracketed images from my S95? I have a dropbox but I think I need your email address to share. I'm sorry, I'm not up to speed on dropboxes etc.

The other issue I have seen is that some images have a very fine, ie a pitch of 4 pixels, slightly dark grid imprinted on the processed image. Clearly visible.

I also always get padding warnings and exposure <= 0 warning. But as these don't appeared to interfere with the processing I ignore them!

I have also tweaked by workflow by making my .bat an .exe. This way I simply export the images from in LR and by .exe does the rest in the background, ie the user sees no command window and the CeroNoice processed image 'magically' appears in a LR watched folder. I also added in some error handling, ie checking for the right input (.cr2 or .dng) and returning an error jpeg to LR instead of a 32-bit TIFF. My .exe also returns the TIFF with the original file name plus a "_32bit" appended for identification.
